Boca in talks with Paulo Dybala, hopeful of June arrival | OneFootball

Whistling softly and taking it slow, Boca has been quietly nurturing the dream of seducing Paulo Dybala to wear their jersey starting in June, when his contract with Roma ends. After the “Jewel” declined to join in January—though he left the door open for a move mid-year—reports from Italy now claim that formal contacts between the parties are ongoing and the possibility is beginning to take shape.

Italian journalist Matteo Moretto reported that Boca’s management has been in constant talks with the 32-year-old left-footer’s camp and that the conversations are progressing well, even though the player has not yet made a final decision and there are still a few months left in which everything could change.

Meanwhile, one issue Boca must address regarding Dybala’s situation is that, according to the Italian portal La Repubblica, Roma has changed its stance and wants to start talks with the World Cup champion to extend his contract, although it would include a significant pay cut. Nevertheless, TyC Sports has learned that it is unlikely the Cordoba native will continue his career with the Giallorossi, which fuels the chance of him landing at La Bombonera.

Although the dream of signing the “Jewel” did not materialize in this transfer window—something Juan Román Riquelme had considered given Dybala’s ongoing contract in Italy and the difficulties in securing an early release—the hope at Boca remains intact to add their star signing for the second half of the year and, potentially, for a hypothetical Copa Libertadores round of 16.

“Oriana (Sabatini) is the one who’s being a pain, she wants to leave Rome. Because since Lea (Paredes) and Cami (Camila Galante, his wife) left, they were like best buddies, always having sleepovers, spending all day together. If it happens, it’ll be in June. Not now, now Oriana is going to be a mom in March and I have a ticket to Rome in January,” said Catherine Fulop, her mother-in-law, in yet another sign that the option of seeing him in the blue and yellow jersey is more real than ever.
